The Christian Warfare
Author: Dr. S. Stennett Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCIII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Warfare First Line: My captain sounds the alarm of war Lyrics: 1 My captain sounds the alarm of war,
"Awake! the powers of hell are near!
"To arms! to arms!" I hear him cry,
"'Tis your's to conquer or to die."
2 Rous'd by the animating sound,
I cast my eager eyes around;
Made haste to gird my armour on,
And bid each trembling fear be gone.
3 Hope is my helmet, faith my shield,
Thy word, my God, the sword I wield;
with sacred truth my loins are girt,
And holy zeal inspires my heart.
4 Thus arm'd I venture on the fight,
Resolv'd to put my foes to flight:
While Jesus kindly deigns to spread
His conqu'ring banner o'er my head.
5 In him I hope, in him I trust:
His bleeding cross is all my boast:
Thro' troops of foes he'll lead me on,
To vict'ry, and the victor's crown.

For all your saints at rest,
Your holy name, O Jesus,
Forevermore be blest!

That they might wear the crown;
And now they shine in glory
Reflected from your throne.

3 Then let us praise the Father
And worship God the Son
And sing to God the Spirit,
Eternal Three in One.
Till all the ransomed number
Fall down before the throne,
Ascribing pow'r and glory
And praise to God alone.
Saints and martyr (general):
4 Apostles, prophets, martyrs,
And all the noble throng
Who wear the spotless raiment
And raise the ceaseless song -
For these passed on before us,
We offer praises due
And walking in their footsteps,
Would live our lives for you.
St. Andrew, Apostle:
5 All praise, O Lord, for Andrew,
The first to welcome you,
Whose witness to his brother
Named you Messiah true.
May we, with hearts kept open
To you throughout the year,
Confess to friend and neighbor
Your advent ever near.
St. Thomas, Apostle:
6 All praise for your apostle
Whose short-lived doubtings prove
Your perfect two-fold nature,
And all our depth of love.
We who await your coming
Desire your peace, O Lord;
Grant us true faith to know you,
Made flesh, yet God and Lord.
St. Stephen, Deacon and Martyr:
7 Praise for the first of martyrs
Who saw you ready stand
To help in time of torment,
To plead at God's right hand.
They share with him who, steadfast,
In death their master own,
On earth the faithful witness,
On high the martyr's crown.
St. John, Apostle and Evangelist:
8 For your beloved disciple
Exiled to Patmos' shore,
And for his faithful record,
We praise you evermore.
Praise for the mystic vision
His words to us unfold.
Instill in us his longing
Your glory to behold.
The Holy Innocents, Martyrs:
9 All praise for infant martyrs
Whom your mysterious love
Called early from their warfare
To share your home above.
O Rachel, cease your weeping;
They rest from earthbound cares.
Lord, grant us hearts as guileless
And crowns as bright as theirs.
The Confession of St. Peter:
10 Praise for your great apostle
so eager and so bold,
Thrice falling, yet repentant,
Thrice charged to feed your fold.
Lord, make your pastors faithful
To guard your flock from harm,
And hold them when they waver
With your almighty arm.
The Conversion of St. Paul:
11 All praise for light from heaven
And for the voice of awe,
All praise for glorious visions
The persecutor saw.
O Lord, for Paul's conversion
We bless your name today;
Come, lighten all our darkness,
And guide us on our way.
St. Matthias, Apostle:
12 Lord, your abiding presence
Mysterious made the choice;
For one in place of Judas
The faithful now rejoice.
From all such false apostles
Your holy Church defend,
And by your parting promise
Be with us to the end.

To animate our song.

And wrestle with temptation
Till victors in the strife.

Of light that grows in splendor
Until the perfect day.

And nerve us for such suff'rings
As glorify your name.

Your glory we may see.

That we, whate'er our station,
May rise and follow you.

Anoint us evermore.

And foll'wing these our brothers,
At length your rest attain. Languages: English Tune Title: KING'S LYNN

We Are Living, We Are Dwelling
Author: Arthur C. Coxe (1818-1896) Hymnal: Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal #617 (1985) Topics: Christan Life Christian Warfare Lyrics: 1 We are living, we are dwelling, In a grand and awful time,
In an age on ages telling– To be living is sublime.
Hark! the waking up of nations, Gog and Magog to the fray;
Hark! what soundeth? Is creation Groaning for her latter day?
2 Christian, rouse and arm for conflict, Nerve thee for the battlefield;
Bear the helmet of salvation, And the mighty gospel shield;
Let the breastplate, peace, be on thee, Take the Spirit’s sword in hand;
Boldly, fearlessly, go forth then, In Jehovah’s strength to stand.
3 And the prince of evil spirits, Great deceiver of the world!
He who at the blessed Jesus Once his deadly weapons hurled,
Cometh with unwonted power, Knowing that his reign will cease
When the kingdom shall be given To the mighty Prince of Peace.
4 Christians, rouse! fight in this warfare, Cease not till the victory’s won;
Till your Captain loud proclaimeth, “Servant of the Lord, well done!”
He, alone, who thus is faithful, Who abideth to the end,
Hath the promise, in the kingdom An eternity to spend. Tune Title: THE ALARM (56531)
